Tennis Star Anisimova Overcomes Burnout Fears, Returns to Peak Performance
In a stunning display of tennis prowess, American player Amanda Anisimova has advanced to the quarter-finals at this year's Wimbledon tournament. The 22-year-old, currently ranked No. 12 in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) rankings, has been making waves in the world of tennis with her impressive performances.
Anisimova's journey at Wimbledon 2023 began with a remarkable 6-0 6-0 victory over Yulia Putintseva in the first round. This victory was followed by a hard-fought win against Czech 30th seed Linda Noskova, securing her place in the quarter-finals for the second time in as many years.
The young tennis star reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2022, at the tender age of 20, and her recent success is a testament to her resilience and dedication. However, her journey has not been without its challenges. In May 2023, Anisimova took a break from tennis due to burnout, but she has since returned with renewed vigour and a sense of fighting for everything.
Anisimova is not alone in her quest for the Venus Rosewater Dish. She and Emma Navarro are the only American players with a chance to win the prestigious trophy at Wimbledon 2023. As a seeded 13th player, she is poised to make a significant impact on the tournament.
Anisimova's career earnings exceed $6 million, and she has been steadily improving her game since a young age. Her experience in Grand Slam events is evident, with a semi-final appearance at the French Open in 2019. Her recent victory at Wimbledon serves as a reminder of her progress this year.
Off the court, Anisimova is known for her balance between competitiveness and artistic and musical interests. This balance contributes to her unique approach to the game.
Despite her low ranking of 189 in 2023, Anisimova reached the last 16 at the Australian Open. From August 2022 to May 2023, she failed to win back-to-back matches in 10 tournaments, winning only 4 matches in total. However, her victory at Wimbledon this year will allow her to break into the world's top 10 for the first time.
Anisimova expects every match at Wimbledon 2023 to be a challenge, but she is enjoying her journey. She has a 3-0 win-loss record against her next opponent, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. With her professionalism and work ethic significantly improved, Anisimova is ready to take on whatever comes her way.
As of mid-2025, Anisimova's career-high ranking of No. 12 is a testament to her hard work and dedication. With her ongoing performance at Wimbledon 2025 and other events, she has the potential to break into the Top 10 soon.

With her impressive performances in Grand Slam events like the French Open and Wimbledon, Anisimova has continually proven her dedication and talent in the sport of tennis.
